I just wish, someone tested this experience for EU where it doesnt work. Auto playing video below the fold and try plays video in a new tab.

I love the simplicity here. Another edge case - apartment management company doest allow installing EV - despite legality. Just bureaucracy is mind-boggling in EU. I'd rather have a hybrid that gives me 18-22 km / liter. We had one neighbour in the area who won after 3 years of fighting bureaucracy - Coming up with a proposal for the board meeting that happens once a year and taking all the feedback points, and working through the insurance companies to amend their standard practices.

This was fun, thank you

There is one area where MCP typically has challenges - Not a technical challenge but a practical challenge.

Imagine you are creating an asset which requires multiple API calls and your UI is designed to go through a 10-12 step setup process for that asset. In practice even if we give one tool for LLM to one-shot it, or even if we break it down into 10-12 tools the points of hallucinations are much higher.

Contrast this with "skills" and CLI.

For a typical B2B SaaS usecase (non technical employees) -> MCP is working great since its allows people to work in Chat interfaces (ChatGPT, Claude). They will not move to terminal UX's anytime soon.

So, I dont see why a typical productivity app build CLI than MCP. Am I missing anything?

Going by data, most likely a path with prior success.

Not exactly, for some ISP's, internet only works with Fitzbox. For other modems, you need to go through months worth of to and fro with ISP to even get them working

Generally speaking in B2B Apps, I think UX has improved quite a bit. End user workflows have improved in both usability and beauty for the masses (10-100's of Millions)

This seems to be a pattern across regions, across foods! I have said the same of Hyderabad and Biryani. But none the less, when someone asks for a recommendation, I give a 70th or 80th percentile near their stay. Better than them randomly walking to a 20th percentile place because it was well lit.

Alpha as I understand is risk adjusted return. Can you or anyone explain how acquiring a tech company can deliver better alpha?

+1 |or that I learn more from TikTok than any other source

You learn from TikTok, for me thats the place to see hot girls(arbitrary).

But,

|empirically social media seems to be the web. '

is true.

Learn has such positive connotation and I want to highlight how a sentence with a not so positive connotation looks like.

I opened comments to reply the same comment from Reddit. Grass always feels greener on the other side.

I read the article and after a few para's I know that the author now works for a SaaS expense management company and I am reading marketing material.

I thought it was Cloud that fueled the growth than only a few customers.

Like OP, Mi Robot Vacuum - My first vacuum cleaner and its something I have recommended to 10+ folks.

An Apartment - A house that is my own, not my parent's place, but mine.

A good chair to work from home - Steelcase Series

As a PM who works with multiple scrum teams / products - I agree with this and I understand where OP's message comes from as well. While I work with 4 teams, my involvement in each team is dependent upon the product mindedness of the team. I take care of internal/external enablement, customer documentation, bargaining design bandwidth exclusively for all the cases, for a couple of teams, I call team leads into more than half of my customer conversations, product strategy discussions. I believe the team collectively can decide the best work item for them 80% of times without my inputs. Only when org strategy or market reactions change, we reset.

That being said, product mindedness is hard for engineering teams. 2 of the teams I work with, I am giving them inputs on every single feature they need to build. While I dislike doing this for every feature, its upto how the engineering leader envisions their team to function. For some, unless there are jira tickets, properly prioritized, with designs ready, they dont want to involve engineering teammates.

While whatever you said about economies of scale is 100% true, its the level 3 stuff that's increasing the cost, not storage.

Refund can be for orders which they were unable to deliver. Example:- Groceries. I get refund if even 1 out of 30 items is not available, that isn't a return. Are these 38 in 2020 all returns?

For a non developer like me,

Is it any different from Ant Design (https://ant.design/)?

Also, almost every company I worked with (> 500 employees), eventually built their own UI components. And in every company, developers seldom use these, always customize or use something else.

Which brings the question - Why do we invest (internally) and open source components? Whats the value?

When JIO was launched, till it became the behemoth it is today, there were a series of some 20 regulatory changes in Telecom in India, all benefiting Jio at the right time, hurting their competition. When everyone is investing in Jio, I think its that absurdity everyone is investing in.

Margins are much higher. Large scale IT Services pay around 40$-60$/day for skilled specialists. I briefly worked in a specialised consulting role where the charge to company was $2000 per day and my cost to the company was $55/day.

Quite a lot of books I want to recommend are already here. - Hard things about hard things - Good Strategy / Bad Strategy are a couple of books that can help here

If the purpose of this exercise is to improve your overall understanding, I would recommend something more fundamental than above (software-specific business books). Read some Macro Economics, articles around industries you are interested in (SaaS, Mobile, etc.) - especially historic ones which give you more foundational understanding.

Also, I strongly recommend not doing an MBA program if knowledge is what you seek.

Books I bought in 2019

1) Creativity Inc

2) Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice

3) Start With Why

4) Inspired: How to Create Products Customers Love

5) The Hard Thing about Hard Thing: Building a Business When There are No Easy Answers

I only managed to finish ~50% of my planned reading in 2019

They become managers?

And what is this localization file called? We do not have a system where non dev can commit any change in our product.

We do have a constants file which has all the messages but a PM does not access to code/commit and has to go via a Dev.

The only time I (a PM) would do this is when you are working on validation messages / error messages / user facing text.

Well, I personally believe its true in India. In last 7 years, my time to office has increased from 20 minutes to 35 minutes to now 60+ minutes. The number of vehicles increased a lot but the biggest culprit is Uber and other cab services. These yellow plates (commercial vehicles) cut lanes a lot and make me break at least 15 times each trip just to get a few feets of advantage. And the worst part is other drivers seem to take them as an example and overall road traffic has become rowdier resulting in very high inefficiency.

1) Software Sales 2) Business Analyst 3) Consultant 4) Project Management (with some experience) 5) Product Management I've seen people with CS degree who didn't dig programming move to these roles
